“Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump said.

Donald Trump reacted to the death of former FBI Director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller with a celebratory post on Truth Social minutes after news broke on Saturday.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 1:26 p.m. EDT, signing the message, “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Mueller, who died at 81, led the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and examined ties between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.

    Remember just a bit ago where they were so horrified and clutching their pearls about anyone saying they were glad Charlie Kirk was dead

      That only applies to the very worst of people. For Republicans that are not sufficiently loyal like Mueller, they can celebrate. Expecting them to have any moral clarity is asking a lot of these assholes.

    Blows my mind that he would hold a grudge against the guy that effectively let him get away with treason.

      It really is amazing. Mueller thought he was protecting our institutions. Instead he got to see his vacuous, largely fake, idealism go up in flames. And now tweet in chief mocks him in his grave.
